Abstract
In this paper
a local equivalent method is proposed for thermal analysis of 3D-stacked magnetic random access memory (MRAM). The method is based on combination of two general methods of thermal analysis
including the finite element method and the thermal resistance network method. On one hand
the method can be easily applied on the thermal analysis for 3D MRAM
overcoming the complex and time-consuming problem of modeling and solving when using the finite element method. On the other hand
the method shows high accuracy on the complex package 3D MRAM with multiple interlayers and TSVs
solving the problem of inaccuracy of the thermal resistance network method. Comparing the results between the local equivalent method and the finite element method
it can be found that the temperature error of the upper surface of each layer obtained by the proposed method is less than 0.05 °C
with the benefits of higher efficiency with less simulation time. Moreover
compared with the thermal resistance network method
the proposed method shows higher accuracy. The main error of the thermal resistance network method comes from the fact that the interlayer and the silicon layer related to the copper pillar have to be modeled separately. The local equivalent method can avoid the problem and improve the accuracy. The proposed method can provide guidance for the design and analysis related to the thermal properties of multi-layer 3D-stacked MRAM.
